When you click on a page's user name box, a drop down menu shows up with about 6 lines visible and a scroll bar on the side.

My question is how to edit that drop down menu to show as many lines as I want without having to scroll.

I know this may not be possible, or may be as easy as a notepad edit. Hopefully someone that knows sees this.

Hi paulov, I'm not aware of any built-in setting for how many items to show without scrolling. On my Firefox on Windows 7, the height is 20 pixels per item, and the default is to show 6 items. You can double it to 12 items with this custom style rule:

#PopupAutoComplete {
  height: 240px !important;
}

Problem is, this prevents the nice "shrink to fit" feature from working, and always maintains the full length of the drop-down. You probably need an add-on to really make it work in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Thanks jscher. I've been sick as a dog the last few days, but I'll play with it this weekend and post the results.
